Load classes from deployment in module jars

[anikulin]

Hi

I have such situation, I want one of my modules to be available to scan classes that i deploy in deployment folder. Is it possible to do this? Could I specify smth in module.xml to add kind of dependency to deployment folder.

Assuming that you have some kind of initialisation method, you need to pass the module based scanner the classloader that loads the classes of your deployment.

When I'm trying to load class in module using current classloader (Class.forName("com.examle.Book")) I have ClassNotFoundException, however this Book.class is in deployed jar file.Can you help, how can I load it?

Thanks, Anton

Module client code (in WEB-INF/classes for example):

{code:java}SomeModuleClass.performScan(this.getClass().getClassLoader());{code}

Module class scanner:

{code:java}public static void performScan(ClassLoader classloader) {
     ... scan classes in provided classloader rather than the current classloader
}{code}

That's helped. Thanks a lot, Stephen!
